The Top 25 Lightweight Golf Bags For 2024 (Updated)

A lightweight golf bag is designed to be easy to carry, hold between 6-10 clubs, and have enough storage for your golf basics.

For serious golfers, a lightweight bag might be their secondary bag, but could be the only bag a casual player owns. The idea behind a lightweight golf bag: keep the game simple - don’t burden yourself with extra gear you don’t need to enjoy playing golf.

When would you use a lightweight golf bag?

A quick trip to the driving range. Have you tried one of the new, high-tech driving range options (Top Golf or Drive Shack)?

They’re better if you bring your own clubs, but it can be awkward bringing your entire set. A lightweight golf bag is perfect for this situation. Heading out to play a par 3 course?

Throw your wedges and putter in a lightweight golf bag and enjoy the afternoon.

The vast majority of golfers will shoot the same score using 6-8 clubs as they do with 14.

You may quickly realize a lightweight golf bag is all you need. Walk the course, get some exercise, and save your back from that heavy bag.

Key Features of Lightweight Golf Bags

Sold. You love the idea of a lightweight golf bag, but there are endless options on the market.

How do you find the best lightweight golf bag for your game?

A quick google search and you will find various styles, shapes, and brands, but which features really matter?

Key features to consider:

Weight - you want to make sure your lightweight golf bag is actually light.

# of Clubs - how many clubs can the bag comfortably hold? You will see everything from 5 to all 14, but we would argue if you are carrying all 14 clubs you have sort of missed the point of a lightweight golf bag.

Storage - less is more, but you do want enough storage to carry your golf essentials

Appearance - we all want to look good carrying our lightweight golf bag to the range or down the fairway.

Price - depending on your budget, price is a factor for all golf investments.

With these key features in mind, we have searched for the best lightweight golf bag and come up with our top 25 list for 2024.

Lightweight Golf Bags: Frequently Asked Questions

Who makes the lightest weight golf bag?

The LOMA bag by Sunday Golf is our pick for the lightest golf bag. It weighs only 1.85 pounds, is available in 12+ color combinations, and is loaded with great features. It can comfortably hold 7 clubs. With a built-in stand and an insulated pouch for drinks, this bag makes walking the course and practicing at the driving range a breeze. 

What weight is a light golf bag?

The lightweight golf bag category will include options in the 2-5 pound range. There are some golf bags available that weigh less than 2 pounds, but most are not designed to hold 14 clubs. They are engineered for 5-7 clubs and should be used to practice, play a par 3 course, or walk a casual 9 holes.

Final Thoughts

Simplify your golf game by playing with a lightweight golf bag. Reduce the number of clubs you carry and get exercise by walking the course. You can’t stress about choosing between your 7-iron and your 8-iron if you only have one of them in your bag.

If you are looking for the best lightweight golf bag, keep a few things in mind:

1. Make sure it is actually lightweight - under 2lbs sounds good
2. Make sure you have enough storage to carry the things you care about (balls, tees, beverages, phone, keys, etc.)
3. How many clubs do you really need to play? We suspect you can have a great time with 6-8

 

Enjoy your afternoon. Make some birdies. Share some laughs. Swap stories in the 19th hole.
